This is probably one of the finest versions l have ever heard of O'Carolans Draught superb, and it just shows the ease you play to what is unforgiving tempo and notation
One of my all time favourite tunes. I learned it in the early 1970ies from Alec Finn of DeDannan and have always wondered why so few people play it. It seems to be one of the tunes that was strongly influenced by Turlough O' Carrollan's stay in Italy and the music of Corelli and Geminiani. Nice playing too. Greetings from Germany.
@@LouisBinghamMusic Ah, Arty McGlynn, one of the few who played trad tunes on the guitar (Dick Gaughan is another fine example). The floating crowbar was one of Arty's as well, if I'm not mistaken. A pity the old lad died in 2019. Probably swapping tunes with Hendrix now. Cheers.
@@dbadagna There's no historical evidence to suggest that Turlough ever visited Italy. Obviously there's a strong Baroque influence on his music which he may have heard through the cultural exchanges within Ireland, but there's no record or indication that he traveled to Italy himself. It's a nice romantic notion but extremely doubtful that it happened.
